This page is for Icynene owners in La Puente and the San Gabriel Valley who are seeing uneven temperatures, rising utility bills, or moisture issues and want a technician who understands open-cell versus closed-cell behavior in our local climate. Wes Okafor and our crew have audited Icynene installations across both sides of Hacienda Boulevard, from the 1950s tracts near Workman Avenue to newer builds off Valinda Avenue. We know which La Puente roof assemblies trap summer heat against Icynene and which eave details were skipped by the original installer.

How Icynene Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Icynene Classic Max (open-cell) shrinkage at stud bays. In La Puente’s dry summer heat, Classic Max can pull away from framing members by 1/8 to 1/4 inch, creating thermal bypasses that your thermostat tries to compensate for. We find these gaps with thermal imaging, then seal with compatible low-expansion foam before re-inspecting with the blower door.
• Icynene MD-R-200 (closed-cell) over-application in compact attics. This 2.0 lb density foam is excellent at air sealing but can lock moisture against roof sheathing when sprayed too thick in La Puente’s unvented cathedral ceilings. We probe for wood moisture content, remove compromised sections if needed, and specify proper vapor retarder placement per the assembly.
• Icynene LD-C-50 (low-density open-cell) dusting and settling in floor assemblies. In crawl spaces beneath La Puente’s post-war bungalows, this product can degrade to a powder when chronically damp. We document the condition, remove failed material with HEPA containment, and specify replacement with a product matched to the actual moisture load.
• Icynene Water Blown (WB) series off-gassing in occupied spaces. Some La Puente homeowners report persistent odor years after WB installation, usually from areas sprayed too thin to cure properly. We test for volatile organic compounds, identify the source zones, and remediate with mechanical removal and proper reapplication.
• Classic Max with missing ignition barrier in accessible attics. California Title 24 requires an ignition barrier when open-cell foam is left exposed in occupied attics. We regularly find La Puente homes where this was skipped to save cost. We document the code violation, install an approved thermal barrier or ignition barrier, and provide the compliance photo record.

Our Icynene Home Energy Audit Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We book your La Puente audit, usually within two business days.
2. 2
   On-site blower-door test. We depressurize your home to 50 Pascals and measure CFM50 - the single number that tells us how much conditioned air your envelope is leaking. This establishes our baseline before we open any assembly.
3. 3
   Thermal imaging and physical probe. We scan every Icynene surface with FLIR, then probe suspect areas with moisture meters and core samples. We photograph everything.
4. 4
   Written findings and price. You get our documented photo record, the blower-door number, and a flat written price for any remediation - before anyone lifts a tool. Haven Standard Clause 1.
5. 5
   Remediation, if needed. We air-seal first, then insulate. Seal the leaks first. The insulation is just the last layer, not the fix. On applicable jobs, we run the blower door again and publish your before-and-after numbers.
6. 6
   Closeout with warranty. Written scope, written warranty, 365-Day Done Right Promise. You leave with documentation; we leave with nothing undocumented.

What Icynene Home Energy Audit Costs in La Puente

Most Icynene home energy audits in La Puente run between $280 and $450 for a single-family home under 2,500 square feet. This covers the blower-door test, full thermal imaging survey, moisture probing, and written report with photo documentation.

What moves the price: homes over 2,500 square feet add $75-$150 for additional test zones; crawl space or multiple attic accesses add time; if we find failed foam requiring removal and replacement, that’s quoted separately with a written scope.

We also provide a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received - bring us another contractor’s numbers and we’ll review them with you, line by line. Call (626) 509-3237 to book. Estimates are free, and the price we write is the price you pay.

Why La Puente Homeowners Call Topside Attic Insulation La Puente for Icynene Work

We’re independently owned and operated under The Haven Standard since 2016 - not a franchise, not a call-center operation. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to read Icynene formulations by their density and cell structure, not just their color.

We don’t lock you into proprietary products. Our materials come from Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, CertainTeed, Icynene, Demilec, and GreenFiber - plus Reflectix when radiant barrier detail is what the assembly actually needs. If your Icynene can be repaired, we’ll say so. If it needs replacement, we’ll specify why and show you the photo evidence.

Every job gets a Documented Photo Record. Every applicable job gets before-and-after blower-door numbers. And every customer gets the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we start.
